This project establishes a partnership between Santa Clara University (SCU) and several surrounding high schools with a high percentage of under-represented and economically disadvantaged students in the Santa Clara Valley of California. The goals of the project are to improve the communication, instruction, and teamwork skills of SCU graduate engineering students (fellows), to strengthen teachers' knowledge of computer science, to raise awareness of the societal and global context of computing among students, and to increase their interest and skill in computational thinking.High school teachers and graduate student fellows will receive training for the Exploring Computer Science course, and fellows will be given instruction on pedagogy and the challenges of a high school classroom environment. The fellows will then work with the teachers in the high school classrooms, serving as role models to students and facilitating their engagement with the subject matter.This three-year partnership between SCU and surrounding high schools broadens the education of graduate engineering students, strengthens high school teachers? expertise in computing, introduces high school students to the breadth of computing and its impact on their lives, and ultimately increases the supply and diversity of graduates ready to enter the IT workforce.

该项目在圣克拉拉大学(SCU)和加州圣克拉拉山谷附近的几所高中之间建立了合作伙伴关系，这些高中的学生人数不足，经济上处于不利地位的学生比例很高。该项目的目标是提高SCU工程学研究生(研究员)的沟通、指导和团队合作技能，加强教师的计算机科学知识，提高学生对计算的社会和全球背景的认识，并提高他们对计算思维的兴趣和技能。高中教师和研究生研究员将接受探索计算机科学课程的培训，研究员将接受教育学和高中课堂环境挑战的指导。然后，这些研究员将在高中课堂上与教师一起工作，作为学生的榜样，促进他们参与到这门学科中来。SCU与周围高中之间为期三年的合作伙伴关系扩大了对工程学研究生的教育，加强了高中教师？在计算方面的专业知识，向高中生介绍计算的广度及其对他们生活的影响，并最终增加准备进入IT劳动力队伍的毕业生的供应和多样性。
